 Great game, if you can get it to work. May 12, 2007
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I saw the "compatible with xp" sticker so I did not forsee any problems. It took about a week of trying different install kernels, editing .ini files, mounting disk images, and various other things to try and install this in XP. Eventually I just had to install it on a win2000 machine and move all the folders to mine via flash thumb drive.
But if you can get it to install it is a great atmospheric game. A good mix between KOTOR and Perfect Dark.
 Alieans, robots and Cyborgs... Oh my.... May 12, 2007

At the time it was visually stunning and Massivly open ended, with a weirds story line, a strange game style and a funky controle system, it actully managed to work...
then again I'm just weird like that...
Best game April 28, 2007
I love this game. I discovered it in the fall of 2001 and it seemed so prescient. I love the cheat codes and hacks. I love doing it without killing anyone. Sure it isn't the sexiest interface, and everything they say about the ai is true, but still I wish I could play it for the first time again(too bad about the lousy sequel).
Awsome Sci-Fi RPG / FPS March 30, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Deus Ex was the game that steered me away from FPS and toward RPG. Indeed, Deus Ex was way ahead of its time; one of those games that merge two genres almost seamlessly (RPG and FPS). By 2007 standard, graphic will look somewhat dated, but gameplay still rocks, whether you chose to run and gun or sneak and peak, Deus Ex offers multiple paths to complete objectives.
On top of the outstanding gameplay, Deus Ex serves up tons of sci-fi elements mixed in with heavy doses of conspiracy theories. Indeed, playing Deus Ex can feel like immersing yourself in a noirish/cyber-funk/sci-fi novel rather than playing a game.
Deus Ex is not perfect (which is good, because personally, I will have a hard time living in the "real world" after playing the perfect game) ie. enemies AI could be better. Sound-wise, music and voice acting is good, but most of the weapons sound weak. Also, the main quest is somewhat linear - I wish you have a choice of which faction to side with. However, there are 3 different endinds depend on the choice you make, and trust me, if you get this far, you'll do all 3 because the game intrigues you so much.
After all these times, Deus Ex is still in a class by itself. I can only think of 1 other game with sci-fi themed FPS/RPG elements that might come close to Deus Ex: System Shock 2. Therefore, if you want an alternative from the fantasy themed dungeon and dragon type RPG games - Deus Ex is the game to play.
Other good sci-fi RPG games that I also recommend after Deus Ex: Star Wars - Knights of the Old Republic series, System Shock 2, and Fallout series. If you know any other good sci-fi RPG games, please let me know.
PS. Although listed for Windows 98 & ME, Deus Ex runs flawlessly on XP.
The best first person shooter I ever played February 9, 2007
Even though this game is a few years old, it is the best first person shooter game I've played--and I've played quite a few. All I will say is "buy this game." The second best first person shooter I've played is SWAT 4, which is great if you want something a bit more realistic. I usually like the more realistic games, but Deus ex is so fun that I can't complain it's not realistic.
